Harvesting the Garlic...

Yesterday I harvested half of this years crop of garlic, the rest will do the rest next week... This is the first year that a garden wasn't planted so no beans, carrots, lettuce and such, the garlic was planted in November and it paid off with beautiful plants. Last years garlic were small... so I am grateful for such a crop.

Garlic - love to share!

After way too long I fixed the gate. Used cedar posts, my log tongs to pull the old concrete, blue crush to set the new posts. No concrete this time, blue crush is limestone and packs well. This was a fun project and took a couple of days to finish.

Rob the two of you have such beautiful gardens! The yield of the garlic...wow, how large and pretty it is! I have always loved visiting and seeing your wonderful work...thanks for sharing this post!Warm Wishes,Loretta

Beautiful flowers! You and Louis Dean ALWAYS have a project going on!!! Seeing the picture of your truck made me smile. Louis Dean just came in from unloading his! My step son grew some beautiful elephant garlic. He sent some to us and I need to use it. What do you do with yours? Dean wraps it in foil with butter and salt and pepper and grills it. SMELLS heavenly and taste just as good!!

Hi Rob, your wifes flowers are beautiful! I love cooking with garlic. One day I was on my way home and a house down the street had garlic plants out by their fence with a sign that said "free, take some, leave some for others." I stopped and grabbed a couple but never did get them in. Darn, regretting it now! Thanks for sharing with SYC.Jann

You have a marvelous crop of garlic - great size! We have had so much rain that we have been unable to tackle garden projects - I can just imagine how glad you are to get your gate fixed - your wife's flowers are gorgeous - beautifully done in a collage! I am delighted that you shared with Home and Garden Thursday,Kathy
